I got so sick of people uploading screenshots of the in-app log console that I spent significant effort to make that control not render during a screenshot.

Taking and cropping a screenshot takes more time than just uploading the plaintext log file conveniently and lovingly placed right next to the executable. Please, just upload the file. Please.

The project was a Big Deal in the circles I was in. Hundreds of thousands of people knew of it, we had hundreds to thousands of active users each with dozens of clients. It was so stressful and I caught so much abuse that I exited software altogether. We did get some money, but my cut worked out to $60 a month.

I still write and publish code, but I don't work on anything that anyone wants to use. I don't get involved in communities and I don't interact with users.

And you know what? I am much happier now.
